Runs ER--284 (Adv)
Eck--250 in 28 fewer games (due to a collision at home partially because of his ballz out style of hustle)
Strikeouts ER--267 (1 per 6.7 ABs)
Eck--134 (1 per 12.6 ABs) Advantage
RBIs ER--212 Advantage
Eck--119 to be fair, he is a leadoff man driving in a pitcher and a .216 Yadi
Runs and RBI's are team dependant and thusly shouldn't matter much.
Edgar has such a significant advantage in slugging due to Eckstein's apparent allergy to extra base hits that their overall offensive output are not really equal. Also, Edgar can still steal a base or two.
Last three years:
ER - 90, 91, 107 ops+
DE - 77, 98, 81 ops+

you beat me to it.
the power is the big difference.
Oh the power.
Yes, they are comparable except for the whole power thing
To compare them while cherrypicking stats forces us all to relive the scary moments of our cardstalk days-- i shudder at the memory
I cant imagine that I am alone in wishing that we had Edgar hitting in the lower part of the lineup.
